Chapter 2 The Little Knights (6)
It took more than an hour for all the dishes Alice and the others ordered to be brought to the table. During this period, the empty plates were removed one by one by Lila. It was not until another hour passed that the meal time came to a successful end.
Regrettably, Vician and Caschia, who took the lead to communicate with the church, did not come back in time. Alice was very sorry about this because she specially ordered their portions as well.Although the dishes were still divided up in the end, they all went into their stomachs one by one.
Touching her mouth and round belly, Alice sighed with contentment.She stood up and gently greeted the army of children led by her, "Are we about to set off?" she said.
"it is good!"
The entire space was instantly filled with large and small responses, and the scene was harmonious and loving, as if a teacher from the college was bringing first-year students here for extracurricular practice.
Alice was very satisfied with this. She nodded and led everyone out of the restaurant.When she left, Lila and Parra ran to the door of the store to say goodbye.What puzzled Alice was that the sisters looked at them in a very strange way.
And their faces were filled with fascinated smiles.
"What a strange person..."
"What a strange person!"
Alice, Lila, and Para, people with different backgrounds, made the same exclamation at the same time.
At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Alice and her party arrived at the church on the outskirts of Zeger.As soon as they entered the church, they could feel the strong religious atmosphere.There are four or five statues of gods seen at the entrance alone, and crosses can be seen everywhere, including of course the group of priests wearing plain robes.
Along the way, Alice and her party received countless friendly greetings, as if everyone here knew why they came.Pushing open the heavy wooden door of the chapel, a beam of warm light hit them directly.As the last few syllables of the hymn fell, the priests who had been praying silently turned around and walked towards Alice and her party.
"Ah, you are Miss Alice that the two adults mentioned, right? Welcome to our church, may the light of life shine with you."
Alice heard the leading priest saying this to her. She raised her head slightly and looked at the priest curiously.Reverend Robert smiled kindly and didn't mind Alice and the others' probing eyes at all.
"Then they have all told you, right? Great, thank you very much for being willing to accept these children temporarily." Alice bowed and then continued: "But what about them?"
"They were taken to the tower and are now signing an agreement with Father Xavier."
"protocol?"
"Yes, this is a necessary process. Don't worry, there are no unreasonable requirements in this agreement."
Alice nodded to show that she completely understood, and then she truthfully conveyed the matter to the children.She heard some children sighing resentfully, and some letting out small cheers.
At the thought of having to say goodbye to these children soon, Alice not only didn't feel refreshed, but also felt a little bit lonely.Beside her, Xingguang was also drawing circles on the ground with her toes. Xingguang suddenly had a lot of playmates in the past few days, and I have to say that she was very happy.
But now they have to say goodbye. Thinking about it, it will still be very lonely, right?
But there is nothing that can be done about it, Starlight is not an ordinary child, and she cannot be considered a human being.She is an arcane spirit. From the source, she is destined not to spend her childhood like a normal person...
At 03:30 in the afternoon, Vician and Caschia still had not returned from the tower.This made Alice and Ivan Bell a little impatient to wait, and they were bored staying where they were. They (mainly Alice) suggested that the pastor on site take the children to familiarize themselves with the new environment, and the pastors readily agreed. , they began to wander around the church with the crowd.
As mentioned before, this church has been around for a long time since its establishment. Even though it has been carefully maintained and repaired, there are still traces of the times in every corner.The fountain in the central courtyard had distinctly colored bases, and Alice could tell that two different stones were used there, one new and one old.The bench placed next to the fountain has many scratches, making it look like a battle-hardened veteran.
When we walked outside the gate and came to the kitchen and stables, the old-fashioned tools that came into view were even more noteworthy. Those tools had been repaired many times and were wrapped with rag strips. They had the feeling that they would break again with a little force. .
"How long has this thing been used for?" Alice was not only thinking this way.
But these are not the most "strange" items in this church. The most strange things are hidden in the fields beneath the church.
That’s right!It's the kind of field used to grow crops.
This is a sight that Alice, Ivan Bell, and no one else have ever seen. Emerald green buds are sleeping quietly in the brown soil. Looking up, the magic stone lamp emitting warm yellow light is shining. Hanging on the wall.
"These were all done by Father Xavier. He is a man favored by God."
As Pastor Robert spoke, he looked at the seedlings in front of him with loving eyes.These are the most precious treasures of their church, a miracle that allowed them to survive in the harsh winter. Traveling across the continent, they were the only ones who thought of using magic stones to do such a thing.
The magic stone is full of magic power, and this magic power is used by people to make various magic props, including objects similar to "heating".Most of these heating objects are used to be installed beside water channels or on faucets, but no one can imagine that these objects can be used to grow vegetables in winter.
After staying in this basement for a long time, when everyone was sighing at how practical Father Xavier's wonderful idea was, Vician and Caschia came over.
Alice was very surprised to see them. She waved to the two of them and told them excitedly that this place was really magical.Caschia smiled at him, and Vician shrugged with an expected expression.
After that, Vician and Caschia handed the agreement to Alice and Ivan Bell for circulation. They saw that the agreement stated that they would help the church in the name of donation, and the church therefore accepted these people who left. Parents' children.
It's a very reasonable agreement. During this period, the church will teach the children well, teach them how to read, and teach them all kinds of common sense.Allow them to live a safe and enriching life during this time.

Chapter 291 Little Knights (7)
Alice originally thought that their fate with the children would be severed the moment they stepped out of the church. However, who would have thought that a few hours later, they would actually be in the wilderness in the countryside. Will the head monster meet again?
If you want to explain how all of this happened, you have to start from the time when they first arrived in Zeger.
Yes, it was at that time that an unintentional conversation between two people set this small group of rebellious children on their current path.
"Then when we get to Zege, let's go check out the guild, okay?"
Alice never lowered her voice when she said these words. She thought that even if she said these words, it would not change much in the future. "We just passed by the guild, walked in to take a look, and then came out immediately. This will not take too much time, nor will it delay our next trip." This was her thought at the time, which was very simple. .
But no one expected that some ambitious little kids who often dreamed of heroes like her would come up with a bold idea.
Do you still remember the whispers Arthur had with his friends at that time?This is the origin of everything. I wonder if they were incited by the adventure epic told by Alice. These young guys were bold enough to want to go on an epic adventure.In fact, they claimed to be members of the "Knights" a long time ago, just like Arthur's father, but their ideals far exceeded the level of "sacrifice for the lord". They aspired to What they crave are passionate battles, mysterious adventures, powerful enemies and cunning monsters.
So in the end, the so-called "Dragon Slaying" was added in front of the title of their knighthood.Knights of the Dragon Slayer - This is a name that sounds like the name of the person who named it, but Arthur doesn't care, he even thinks the name is awesome!
After he decided on the name, he quickly threw himself into this professional life. Usually they just used tree branches to play the role of knights fighting dragons, but now!Now!
They had the opportunity to go to the Adventurer's Guild. There was no Adventurer's Guild in their small village. When this news reached their ears, it seemed like it was the most beautiful sound in the world.
"I have to go, no, we have to go!"
Arthur thought to himself, and that's exactly how he acted.After waiting for Alice and her party to leave the church, he came to the Adventurer's Guild with his deputy Matthew, herald Clayton and quartermaster Fine.
In the process, they bribed many people and were able to slip out of the church walls smoothly!
When they arrived at the gate of the Adventurer's Guild, Arthur and his party couldn't hold it any longer. They squeezed in noisily and then had cold water poured on their heads.There were no adventurers of all kinds, no lively conversations, and even the bulletin board hanging on the wall had only a handful of contracts posted on it.
What Arthur and the others didn't know was that at other times, the Adventurer's Guild here was still very lively, but at this time, due to the outbreak of the war and the blockade of routes, many adventurers were not going to support the front line. , I just can’t come to this place.One can imagine what the guild that originally had a high traffic volume would look like now. Arthur and the others really picked a bad day to visit.
"It's completely different from what I imagined! How could this happen... Is everything...? No, this is impossible. It must be because we arrived late. Everyone has received the mission and set off! Yes, that's right. ."
While comforting himself, Arthur continued to pretend to be calm and walked in with the group of people behind him.He did not take his friends to the bulletin board immediately, but went directly to the counter for team procedures.The staff at the counter was obviously stunned when she saw them climbing on the counter. Although she quickly returned to normal, she still had an embarrassed look on her face.
He explained to Arthur and his party: "Children, this is the place where you go through the team procedures. You are too young and are not allowed to go through it yet. I'm really sorry."
"Why not! We have defeated many enemies!!!"
"Um, um...then what enemies did you defeat?"
The staff member continued to talk to Arthur with a wry smile. In his mind, he completely regarded Arthur and his party as naughty children who came to cause trouble, and in fact, this was indeed the case.
He just wanted to get these kids out as soon as possible so that his migraines wouldn't happen again.
On the other side, after Arthur listened to the other party's inquiry, he raised his head high and replied with pride: "We have defeated an evil wizard who can summon monsters, a pseudo-dragon, and several floating armors. There are banshees and giant mud monsters too!”
What he said was not his personal experience at all. He heard all this from Alice's mouth. It's no wonder that the staff behind the counter saw through his lies in a second.
The staff member smiled politely at Arthur again, and then immediately issued an eviction order as soon as his face changed.He said: "I'm very sorry, but we still can't handle the procedures for you. This is not about your experience, but... let's be honest, you are too young, and I don't think you can defeat a lone dog." of wild dogs.”
"But……!"
"Listen kid, these are the rules of the guild, either obey or leave!"
"Damn it! Bah, who cares!"
Arthur jumped up from the counter angrily. After jumping down, he first made a face at the person behind the counter, and then left the guild with his companions.By the way, when Arthur left, he kicked the door frame of the guild door so hard that the doorbell on the door frame jingled.
"You rigid master, why don't you let us register?" Standing outside the door, Arthur was still complaining angrily.Beside him, his friends also lowered their heads, with glum expressions on their faces.
For a long time, no one said anything. They all seemed to be aggrieved by the unfair treatment they had received, but after a few minutes, Arthur suddenly stood up from the ground.
"I'm going to pick up a commission from the bulletin board. I want them to see if we have the strength to defeat a monster!"
After Arthur finished speaking, he rushed into the guild without looking back. Before anyone else could come to their senses, with a cry of "Come back here, you bastard!", Arthur rushed out with a piece of paper. come out.
"I got it! I got it! Let's go, we're going to fight monsters!!!"

Chapter 292 Little Knights (8)
"I got it! I got it! Let's go, we're going to fight monsters!!!"
Arthur ran with his head down and shouted loudly to his companions who fell behind him.
The others, led by Matthew, were stunned for a while. After the people in the guild chased them out of the door, they reacted belatedly and ran away with Arthur.Their speed was strange, and they specialized in running on narrow paths, so that the adults who were chasing them were stuck between two walls and could only stare at them.
Therefore, short stature is actually very beneficial in some aspects, and the dwarves on this continent know this very well.
After escaping from the hunt, Arthur proudly waved the contract in his hand to his companions, and at the same time read extremely excitedly: "Kill the ice element wandering in the eastern suburbs of Zeg, and you can get one hundred gold coins. Reward!"
"Look, this is the first mission that matches our identity. What are we waiting for! Come with me quickly!"
Faced with Arthur's call, Matthew and Clayton, who were rationalists, immediately gave their objections.They still understand the true strength of their group. They obviously can't defeat any monsters. Those tricks with fancy names are actually just nonsense.But they couldn't resist Arthur's brainwashing. Arthur used his natural debating ability to easily make them succumb to his plan.In this way, the four of them held the precious contract and headed straight to the east gate.
On the other side, when Alice and her group of four arrived at the guild, it was exactly when the staff went out to chase Arthur.So when they walked into the guild, what they saw was an empty hall.After waiting in the lobby for more than ten minutes, the staff ran back panting.
"Damn little brat! Don't let me see him again...!!!"
Alice heard the man walking at the front curse like this. When she heard the sound, she raised her head and looked at the man's face.The man reacted quickly. He quickly put away the anger on his face and quickly walked back behind the counter.
"Do you need any help? The bulletin board is over there."
In just three seconds, the man's voice changed back to a gentle one, and the speed of his face change was even faster than that of a clown.
"We just came here to take a look, but it looks very different from other guilds here!"
"That's true. After all, there is a lack of supplies here and it cannot be repaired as luxuriously as other continents. But don't worry, we still have all the necessary facilities here. Whether it is a bulletin board or a reward reception area, these are the same as other places. There are no changes in the guild!”
"Is that so? In that case, let's go to the bulletin board and have a look."
After Alice finished speaking, she smiled lightly at the staff, and then she and the remaining three people walked towards the bulletin board.They stood in front of the bulletin board and observed for themselves. They found that there were many contracts posted on the bulletin board. From the most basic collection and escort commissions to more advanced subjugation commissions, all kinds of contracts were gathered in this small area. on the board.This aspect is no different from Ander's Adventurer's Guild.
After observing for a while, a contract posted on the upper right attracted Alice's attention. She murmured in her mind: "'Encircle and suppress bandits'? This might work..."
And just when she was trying to fill the gap in funds created by her wanton spending, several adventurers suddenly broke into the guild.No, it wasn't an intrusion, they were just too excited.
"Give way, please give way! We are here to accept the mission!"
The group of adventurers crowded next to Alice and her party. Listening to what they said, they seemed to be eager to take off a contract from the bulletin board.Alice understood that feeling. Although she didn't have time to take anything off the bulletin board that time, she could understand the impatient feeling.
She took a step back and let out the bulletin board in front of her.The group of adventurers glanced at her gratefully, and then all raised their heads to look at the bulletin board.
Alice and her party heard the young man dressed as a priest among them mutter: "Where, where...", while a dwarf wearing heavy armor next to him was also muttering the same words.
The adventurers' eyes scanned the entire bulletin board from left to right, over and over again, and their eyes became more confused every time.
